“…The amount of yield obtained in the authors own research was comparable to the amount of yield obtained by Baldini et al [10]. Scientific literature and the authors' own research indicate that the amount of Jerusalem artichoke yield depends on variety, soil, and climatic conditions, and on agrotechnical measures [10,40]. Other studies have also shown that Jerusalem artichoke yield can be high and can reach even 30 Mg • ha -1 [41].…”

“…This plant comes from North America and belongs to the Asteraceae family [8]. Jerusalem artichoke is a species that can be used in various branches of the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and power industries [9][10]. Topinambour biomass is used as a raw material for production of biogas and biodiesel [11][12].…”

The aim of our research was to assess the effectiveness of phytoextraction of heavy metals from sewage sludge by 'Rubik' and 'Albik' varieties of Jerusalem artichoke. The 6-year field experiment involved four levels of fertilization with sewage sludge at doses of 0,10,20,40, . The research evaluated the amount of Jerusalem artichoke yield as well as the uptake and use of heavy metals by the Jerusalem artichoke varieties.It was established that increasing doses of sewage sludge had significantly increased the yield of the Jerusalem artichoke varieties. Increasing doses of sewage sludge also had a significant effect on the increase in the content of heavy metals in aboveground parts of plants. The highest heavy metal uptake with the yield of the Jerusalem artichoke varieties was observed at a dose of 60 Mg DM • ha -1. Among the tested varieties of Jerusalem artichoke, Albik had higher yield, higher content and uptake of heavy metals, and greater recovery of these elements as compared to Rubik. Therefore, based on the obtained research results, Albik can be recommended for phytosequestration of heavy metals from sewage sludge amended soil.

Jerusalem artichoke: A sustainable biomass feedstock for biorefinery

a b s t r a c tThe biggest challenge for the production of bulk commodities such as biofuels and bio-based chemicals through biorefinery is to secure low-cost biomass feedstocks on a large scale. Current sugar-and starchbased feedstocks are not sustainable due to their main usage as food or food ingredients for humans. Although lignocellulosic biomass, particularly agricultural residues, is abundantly available, its conversion and utilization are still not economically competitive. One solution is to develop specific energy crops that can grow well on marginal land without competing for arable land with grain production. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is tolerant to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity as well as plant diseases, and thus is an alternative energy crop. The biomass of Jerusalem artichoke comes mainly from its tubers containing inulin as a major component, which can be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars without an energy-intensive pretreatment. In this article, genetic resources, cultivar selection and planting of Jerusalem artichoke are reviewed. Compared to other herbaceous energy crops, particularly switchgrass and Miscanthus that have been intensively studied in the United States and Europe, not only can Jerusalem artichoke be used as feedstock for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals, but also value-added products to make the biorefinery process more economically competitive.
